Kapil Dev: MS Dhoni Has Done A Great Job But We Can’t Expect The Same 20 Or 25 Year Old Dhoni

1983 World Cup winning Captain Kapil Dev has backed MS Dhoni in his nastiest phase of career. MS Dhoni is criticized unfailingly for his poor form in the surviving year. He did amazing for CSK in IPL 2018. But his magnetism and quality were mislaid in the 50 over format. He struggled in the England Tour, Asia Cup Tour and West Indies Tour. He has also been replaced by Rishabh Pant in the T20 format. But one thing is clear that MS Dhoni is going to play the 2019 World Cup.

Backing MS Dhoni, Kapil Dev in an interview with NDTV said that MS Dhoni has done a great job for Indian Cricket but we can’t expect him to be same 20 or 25-year-old Dhoni.

He said “I think whatever he has done, he’s done a great job. But I think the bad part is we are expecting the same 20 or 20 years old Dhoni, which is not going to work”.

However, MS Dhoni remains a celebrated Cricket Legend for India. He is the only captain in the world to win all the three ICC Tournaments, World Cup 50 over, World Cup T20 and Champions Trophy.

The legendary Cricketer also praised skipper Virat Kohli for his steadiness and enthusiasm.

He said, “I think he is a special person, a special player. I think certain people are special and he is one of them. The people who have talent and are ready to work hard they become superhuman. So I think he is talented and disciplined and that makes him what he is.”
